Operating System: RSX-11M V4.2B  Source Language: MACRO-11  Memory
Required: 32KW  Keywords: Utilities - RSX-11
 
Abstract: This program reads a floppy diskette, creating an image file
of it on the hard disk.  The image file can then be used to
recreate on a blank floppy an exact copy of the original
diskette.  The program is independent of floppy size (8", 5
1/4", etc.), capacity (number of logical blocks), format
(RX01, RX02, RX03, RX50, RX33, etc.), file structure (ODS-1,
ODS-2, DOS, RT-11, etc.), or the actual data on the
diskette.  Any floppy that can be read by the device driver,
disk controller, and disk drive can be copied by FDC.  In
fact, an image file can be created of just about any random
access device, provided space exists on the hard disk.
Media to be copied are assumed to be free of hardware
detectable errors.
 
Notes: Operating systems RSX-11M V4.0 and RSX-11M-PLUS V3.0 or higher
is required.
May also run on earlier versions of these operating systems.
 
Restrictions: Author's system uses full function executive, full
duplex terminal driver;
program may not run if less is available.
 
Media (Service Charge Code): One RX01 Diskette (KA)  Format: FILES-11,
600' Magnetic Tape (MA)  Format: FILES-11
